I know that Buhari is not reasonable, but he can prove me wrong by unbundling the power/works/housing sector.

Why would a rational man want a lawyer to lead the power sector?

He should get a dedicated engineer for the sector and redeploy Fashola to works and housing (he is doing a good job there).

More importantly, set a target to end the national grid nonsense!

Every state must generate their own power...if a state cannot, they should buy from a neighboring state that can. The power sector should be commercialized completely. Then get private investors to invest in the sector and supply power to communities.

I know we are not progressing in Nigeria, but why we don't admit that is something I don't understand.

Jos has pass that stage, they have their own power plant, infact the light is constant except when rain falls but after the rain, the light is restored to normal.

#satanic next level loading.......

the shithole is irredeemable.

By the time buhari finish his 2nd term am sure the power sector would be a complete failure

German current Energy Minister studied Law his predecessor studied..............yea you guessed right law

Incumbent in the UK studied Economics predecessor studied History

Incumbent in Japan studied political Sience

Incumbent in Russia studied Economics

So please tell us what you think our own Minster should have studied and why

Incumbent in US studied Animal Science
In Italy incumbent studied Law


What is your premise and where is the evidence

This guys think that ministerial functions includes the job description of a technician!

In actual fact, most of them are not that dumb. They know that the power ministry really don't need to be ran by an engineer. Just that they derive joy in lashing out at Buhari. It is almost like it makes them come.

So no need attempting to educate them.

These countries you mentioned had long stabilized their power sector, hence, can be managed by any professional. I am an Economist and I can categorically tell you that it is inarguably wrong for a novice to man power ministry especially at this disgraceful 2,3 thousand megawatt output for over 200million population.

But we dey supply neighbouring countries 24/7 light....


Our home dey burn Instead of Government to quench our fire them talk say na neighbor own dem wan go quench

Nigeria does not supply any country 24-7 electricity and no country in West Africa supplies 24-7 electricity!

Jeez! What do you guys do with your data?!!

What is your premise and where is the evidence

Fashola advises architects to design buildings that are safe, resilient and fit to avoid building collapse (https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/building-collapse-fashola-recommends-compulsory-project-registration-number-for/jcy76rp).

If you are knowledgeable on this subject matter, do you think Fashola got it right? Does that statement shows him capable of being work and housing minister? Are architects or structural engineers responsible for ensuring buildings do not collapse?

You cannot adjudicate over something you lack technical knowledge in. If after all these years, Fashola has not known that structural engineers are responsible for structural integrity of buildings, it is high time Nigeria put round peg in round hole. No matter how people like you try to defend this, a lawyer should not be heading power, works and housing departments. I am an engineer by training and I found this very absurd.

A man that does not have basic knowledge of physics does not have the required background to head those departments..

No wonder we have not had light for 4 days in..

Palmgrove, Pedro, Somolu, Gbagada and environs...

Dumb pipu

we all know we are cowards in this country...3000mw teeh!!

I said it PDP is stealing the Mega WATS meant for Nigerians, the EFCC should check their foreign accounts, lol, sore loosers

If Fashola of all people can become so useless under Buhari like this, then associating with Buhari must be causing automatic iberibeism.

Upon all the boast of energy is no rocket science.

1.Current cut due to maintenance.

2. We cannot have light until we pay higher for electricity, until the people who are refusing to pay their bills pay up and until the government agencies that owe money pay too.

3.A situation where government is not allowing discos set prices for power, but is the one setting the prices, meaning that discos cannot pay Gencos, and Gencos cannot pay for gas is bad.

4.Subsidy in the petrol sector is inhibiting the much needed investments in repairing gas and oil infrastructure. Yet because of some cabals love for cheap money and Nigerians love for cheap fuel...

We are getting the power we have been paying for. Until we stop blaming GEJ, Bubu, fashola, etc, and accept the need for a deregulated oil and power sector, which would fuel investments into the power sector, we will have power issues.

Let's face reality.

Are u dis daft or are u pretending?

All the countries u mentioned has had 24 hour electricity supply for 50 - 100 years. How does that compare with Nigeria??

Fashola has failed badly, U can keep justifying n enforcing failure.

I tire oh, Nigerians are the smartest and at the same time most foolish set of people in this world, the other day, a guy was defending Nigeria when being compared to Ghana in terms of development, I think the fact that Nigerians feel they can adapt to any situation is a curse because for more than 50 years of post-independence, a country has never celebrated just 1 year of none interrupted power supply! And Nigerians just adapted with this rather than demanding more.

It's sad

Wind power "produced" by Germany is over 100,000MW and they generate approximately 12GW of electricity all together with a population of 83M




I'm sorry to say oo..We can never get it right in Nigeria.

ure saying shit 100,000MW dat is already 100GW nd u said dey produce 12GW

Power generation has long since been privatised since 2014.

We even have a few small companies that supply gas to Gencos.

The problem is Gencos are not making a profit. Discos cannot send them enough cash because the government is setting prices and prices are kept low.

So any state run Gencos are going to be unprofitable. Unless govt allows discos to set prices and discos thus have enough money to pay Gencos who can then pay for much gas and attract investment

The government can play a 90% role in solving this mess rather than folding their arms,
who set the laws of the land?
Do you think in developed countries, citizens would even like to pay light bills? Of course not, but they can't because these are laws and penalties when you do not obey.!


I do not believe in the "Change begins with me" approach , cause we won't solve anything in a lifetime, but "Change begins from the Top"

Who is collecting the money for Gas? Who are the Gencos buying Gas from? The problem starts from Gas prices.

Anytime a hausa/Fulani takes the seat of power, watch how the country degenerates. Those almajiri illiterates will turn this useless entity to venezuela very soon.

1.Power has been in private hands since 2014 except for transmission.

2.The discos also control the means of funding

3.However, the government sets prices that the discos charges and pays a subsidy to cover the rest, meaning discos cannot make enough of a profit and have had to be bailed out by international agencies.

4.The problem is compounded by high rates of people not paying for power and by government agencies owing money. Discos have a deficit of 1trillion naira in funding.

5.as a result, discos cannot pay Gencos.

6.Govt cannot do much . Shell recently said we need 200bn dollars to fix power. Other estimates put it at 900bn. Our reserves are at 40bn.

7.The best government can do is to allow discos to.set.the prices they see as fit. Discos should also meter every house in Nigeria, and Nigerians too should pay their bills.

8.as a Reslt, funding would rise, and improvements would be made.

It happened for GSM

Gas comes from smaller private companies and from the Nigerian Gas company

These companies prefer to be paid in dollars, not in naira.

Gas is also.sold at high prices. It costs a. Lot to. Extract gas.

And we don't have the money to invest in increased gas production because due to lack of deregulation of the downstream sector, the Nigerian crude oil industry can't make enough money for infrastructure to harness the gas we produce. Much better to flare. Sad.

Chain reaction

I totally agree with you!
But my concern is, with the stats, it could mean in the next 200 years we could still be struggling to have stable electricity, 40bn reserves compared to 900bn in cost, which also gets more expensive as we ignore?

Why can we learn from other neighbouring countries?

I wonder why anyone is still bordered about PHCN when you can buy yourself a solar inverter. Na money dey insult me now, otherwise, i would have bought another system for my shop. There have been no real lights (2/3hrs daily) in my area for almost a week now, but i have 24/7 Electricity at home.
